thank you I have many Alwar and Bikanir rupees in AU and XF but this was the first copper I had seen.
Here’s my latest Karl Goetz medal — “Revolution in Bavaria.” It’s his sarcastic take on the short-lived Bavarian Republic during the German Revolution in 1918-19. It was intended to be a socialist state known as the Munich Soviet Republic. Additional information from karlgoetzmedals.com K-214 REVOLUTION IN BAVARIA (Kurt Eisner, Umsturz in Bayern) 1918, Cast bronze, Satirical medal, 58.0mm, 63.0g, Frankenhuis 1487. Obverse: Caricature of Bavarian social-democrat Kurt Eisner, mounted on the Bavarian Lion wearing a Liberty Cap. In border, "Und Minister President bin ich, Curt Eisner•I•" (And prime-minister am I, Curt Eisner •I•). In exergue, "8•Nov•1918". Reverse: Death, lifting two doors from their hinges; one is decorated with the Bavarian Coat of Arms and marked wiith date 1180, which suggests the regentship of Wittelsbacher since 1180; the other door is dated 1808 and inscribed, "Verfassung" (Constitution). In his right hand he holds a balance scale with a pipe on one side and a crown on the other. On the ground lies the shattered king's crown and orb. Inscription, "Umsturz • in • Bayern" (Revolution in Bavaria). K G at the base of the two pillars.

Sure. Its a 1945 India Rajkot Mohur. Ruler Dharmendra Singhji. There were also much later restrikes with different dies that can be identified by the sun above the water line and a round trident ring (instead of oval). The below picture if from Numista showing the example as i cannot draw very well.
Montenegro, 1 Perper, 1912, Nikola I, Ag 0.835 My first coin from the Kingdom of Montenegro, though I have some later ones after it merged with Serbia.
Korea, 1 Chon, Gwang Mu Year 10=1906 I already had one of this date/type, but this one was a slight upgrade, so I picked it up. I'm amazed how similar these are to the Japanese 1 sen of 1873-1888 (below)
couple of pick ups yesterday. The 1806 Penny is a slight upgrade for me - the "without incuse curl" variety. The other coin confused me for a while - it is actually a British coin weight made to check the Portuguese gold Escudos of that era, with the equivalent value in British shillings given. I'd love to get a gold escudo for 36 shillings now!
Casimir or Kashmir? Port of Spain, Trinidad...I went ashore there once, had a few beers, it was a good time. Here is a new arrival, India - Kutch, Bhuj mint, AR 5 kori, VS1979/1922AD nice big silver coin.
